Long ago, there was no such thing as nighttime.Sun and Moon were the best of friends and they never left the sky.Moon looked after the quiet oceans, and Sun shone brightly over all the land.Elephant lived on the plains.The sunlight made his skin very hot.He tried to cool off in a mud bath, but Sun dried it up.He tried fanning himself, but his ears got tired.One day he called out to Sun, “You dry the ground and burn my feet! I cannot stand this awful heat!”But Sun did not listen, and Moon did not say a word.Owl lived in a tall tree in the forest.She could not hunt in the sunlight.She tried to catch Mouse for dinner, but Mouse saw her coming and ran away.She tried eating berries instead, but they did not fill her up.One day she called out to Sun, “Mouse can see me in the light, I cannot hunt with you so bright!”But Sun did not listen, and Moon did not say a word.Baby Turtle hatched on the beach by the ocean.To reach the sea, he needed the tides to pull him in.He tried to swim out, but the waves pushed him back on shore.He waited for the tides to come, but they never did.One day he called out to Moon, “I need the tides to reach the seas, I beg of you to bring them please!”Moon heard the animals and she asked Sun if there was a way they could help them.Sun cared deeply for Moon and he agreed. Together they came up with a plan.
